Comments Off on Liveblog: Championship Saturday, USC-UCLA and Denver-Cal State Northridge
Since my tweets aren’t updating the right-hand column right now, due to server issues, I’m going to set up an all-day live-tweeting window here. It’s going to be a busy day of college basketball and football: Utah State-Georgetown is at 10:00 AM MDT; the Butler-Duke rematch is at 1:15 PM MDT; Oregon-Oregon State and Auburn-South Carolina start at 1:30 and… Read more »
It’s Warbiany vs. The Major’s Girl in LRT College Football Pick ’em
The second annual Living Room Times College Football Pick ‘em Contest is going to overtime. “Old Gold & Black,” a.k.a.

Notre Dame 20, USC 16
So… that just happened. My first USC loss to ND since I became an “Irish Trojan.” Congrats to my long-suffering Irish-fan friends on finally beating USC. Really. And… sigh. Beat. The Bruins. P.S.

Football-wise, at least. Stewart Mandel explains: Please tell all those economic experts who chart stuff not to freak out if America’s spending is down this Black Friday. A whole lot of folks are going to be inside, glued to the tube. When the television schedules were set last summer, no one could have predicted that the nation’s top three teams… Read more »
TCU:Stanford::Harry:Voldemort
Hey, look! It’s an actual blog post (not a tweet) by me (not a guestblogger) about college football (not University of Denver basketball)! WHEEE!!! And it has a nerdy, Harry Potter-themed, SAT analogy-based title! About that title… what I mean is not that TCU is the personification of good and Stanford the personification of evil (although…), but rather that, in… Read more »
LRT Pac-10 Power Rankings week 12

Hawaii may bolt beleaguered WAC for MWC and Big West
Hawaii and the Mountain West are working toward a deal that would have the Warriors joining the MWC alongside Fresno State and Nevada (and, a year earlier, Boise State). I actually thought this sort of thing made sense, but it appears my idle speculation is turning out to be quite real! However, unlike its fellow WAC ex-pats, the Warriors would… Read more »
